Tribal Representatives to Advocate Congress Provide Federal Funds for California Tribal Healthcare
The convening of the 116th United States (US) Congress, began January 3, 2019. The Democrats now control the House of Representatives and the Republicans have a larger majority in the Senate. There will be opportunities to achieve bipartisan support to advance California Tribal healthcare goals. It is critical that such advocacy work take place, otherwise our Tribal healthcare needs, and rights, could be overlooked as Congress moves its legislative spending plans forward.
Extensive work is needed to bring the Indian Health Service, and specifically, the California Tribal healthcare system, up to par with health services provided by other agencies, such as the Veterans Administration. The report Broken Promises: Continuing Federal Funding Shortfall for Native Americans released last year by the US Commission on Civil Rights states:
“…the efforts undertaken by the federal government in the past 15 years have resulted in only minor improvements, at best, for the Native population as a whole. And, in some respects, the US Government has backslid in its treatment of Native Americans, and there is more that must be done...”
The report is further evidence that the US is not adequately fulfilling its trust obligations to Indian country. Given this, we must actively advocate to move the federal government to fulfill its responsibilities. In this advocacy work, California Tribal healthcare representatives had clear successes. A recent example occurred

on September 30, 2018 when President Trump signed HR 6157.
The legislation includes:
1) $50 million set-aside for Tribes and Tribalorganizations in State Opioid Response Grants;
2) $40 million for Tribal Behavioral HealthGrants ($20 million for mental health and $20million for substance abuse);
3) $21 million for Good Health and Wellness inIndian Country;
4) $10 million set-aside for Tribes forMedication Assisted Treatment forPrescription Drug and Opioid Addiction;
5) $2.9 million set-aside for Tribal SuicidePrevention; and
6) $2.2 million set-aside for the Tribal ZeroSuicide Prevention Initiative.
In preparation for working with the 116th Congress, during California Rural Indian Health Board’s (CRIHB) advocacy priority meeting on October 20, 2018, Tribal representatives identified the following key federal priorities:
Tribal healthcare representatives in California will converge April 29 - May 3, 2019 on Capitol Hill to advocate for federal funding and other initiatives that benefit the California Tribal healthcare system. CRIHB is scheduling meetings with Senate and House representatives. For more information on the March on Washington, please contact Leah Hawkins by email: [email protected] or phone: 916-929-9761. We look forward to your participation in this important event.
2018 Workforce Development Highlights
In 2018, CRIHB launched workforce development programs aimed at growing Tribal communities’ capacity. These programs focused on integrating online learning platforms with adult education programs to provide accessible opportunities.
Clinical Medical Assistant Training Program The inaugural cohort of CRIHB’s Clinical Medical Assistant (CMA) Training Program graduated in June 2018 from San Francisco State University’s College of Extended Learning. The program consists of five months of online modules, monthly professional development webinars, in-person clinical labs, and an externship opportunity. Funded by The California Endowment, CRIHB provided tuition and travel scholarships to all students. A total of 14 students from Tribal Health Programs and Tribal communities earned their certification as a CMA. The second cohort of CMA students began their program in January 2019, and we look forward to supporting these students. Experience as a CMA can serve as a stepping stone to becoming a nurse, mid-level provider or a physician. In the end, this program is about creating pathways for Tribal communities to lay the groundwork to care for their own as well as strengthen their expression of sovereignty and self-determination.
Community Health Representative Training Program In conjunction with trainers from Washington State Department of Health – Office of Healthy Communities, CRIHB hosted the first cohort of Community Health Representative (CHR) students in July 2018. The training program consists of two in-person trainings and six weeks of an online curriculum. This aims to improve the basic competencies of CHRs such as assessment, documentation, and service coordination skills. A total of 18 students completed the training program from various CRIHB member Tribal Health Programs. We will be recruiting the next cohort of CHR students in April.
Medical Scribe Training Program In the summer of 2019, CRIHB will open applications for the first year of the Medical Scribe Training program. This program is made possible through a collaboration with Shasta College. The Medical Scribe role is being rapidly adopted among clinics nationally because of the benefits it brings to both healthcare providers and patients. As part of the care team, Medical Scribes join the provider and patient in the exam room to document the entire visit. This allows the provider to give full attention to the patient and to clinical thinking rather than typing and navigating through the electronic health record system. Patients benefit from the extra attention and care they receive. In addition to the providers and patients, Medical Scribes benefit from having a deep experience in the delivery of health care. We hope the program will be an entry point for Tribal members to begin a career in healthcare. With this experience, students can consider continuing their education to become a nurse or provider. Building local healthcare capacity is another expression toward further Tribal sovereignty and self-determination.

There are six new laws that become effective this year and that impact Indian Health Programs.
California AB1753: Effective January 1, 2019, controlled substance prescription forms must have a unique serial number in a format approved by the California Department of Justice. AB2760: Effective January 1, 2019, a prescriber must offer a naloxone hydrochloride (e.g., Narcan) prescription to a patient when specific conditions are met. If a prescription is written, the prescriber must provide education regarding overdose prevention and use of narcan to the patient and to persons the patient designates.
SB1448: Beginning July 1, 2019, doctors must actively inform their patients if they have been disciplined by their licensing board for sexual misconduct involving a patient, drug abuse, criminal conviction involving harm to a patient, or inappropriate prescribing that results in patient harm. “Doctors” includes physicians, surgeons, osteopaths, naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, podiatrists, and acupuncturists.
FederalCenters for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS): On January 1, 2019, CMS published new Medicare Part D Opioid policies for Medicare drug plans. The new policies include improved safety alerts when patients fill opioid prescriptions and drug management programs for patients at-risk for misuse or abuse of opioids or other drugs. In addition, CMS released new training materials and tip sheets for prescribers, pharmacists, and patients.
CMS Medicare and Medicaid Major Final Rule: The Rule (published November 23, 2018), makes changes to the Medicare program, including changes to the physician fee schedule and Part B payments, shared savings program requirements, and the quality payment program. In addition, the Rule makes changes in the Medicaid program, the quality payment program, and expands use of telehealth services for treatment of opioid use disorder.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Beginning June 10, 2019, changes affecting disposal of drugs or use of reverse distribution programs become effective. The rule requires health facilities that dispose of prescription pharmaceuticals to register with the US EPA, separate listed, characteristically hazardous pharmaceuticals from unlisted, non-hazardous pharmaceuticals, train staff to comply with the rule, and dispose of hazardous pharmaceuticals within one year of their being determined to be a waste.
Department of Health and Human Services published Healthcare Cybersecurity Best Practices Guidelines on December 28, 2018. The guidelines explore the five most relevant and current threats to the health care industry, recommend 10 cybersecurity practices to mitigate these threats, and contain two technical volumes for information technology, one for small organizations and the other for medium and large organizations.
New Laws Impacting Indian Health Programs
California Rural Indian Health Board, Inc. 4
340B Compliance National Indian Health Board
The federal 340B program allows Tribal and Urban Indian Health Programs to purchase drugs at a substantially reduced price – on average a 51% reduction. These drugs can be dispensed to patients from a clinic, clinic pharmacy, or a contracted retail pharmacy.
Having access to these discounted drugs comes with a number of rules. Indian health programs purchasing the 340B drugs is responsible for assuring its own compliance as well as the compliance of its contracted pharmacies. The health program must also have processes in place to monitor compliance. Monitoring includes reviewing the clinic’s internal processes as well as those of the contracted pharmacies. Health programs are expected to monitor their contracted pharmacies monthly and arrange for an annual external audit of those pharmacies.
Common errors found during reviews and audits include:
1. Information on the Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA)database for the health program or the contractedpharmacy is out of date;
2. No signed contract between the Health program andretail pharmacy;
3. Contracted pharmacy not registered on the OPAdatabase;
4. Health program did not provide appropriate monthlyoversight; and
5. Health program did not have an annual external auditof contracted pharmacies performed.
Indian health programs are subject to a federal audit of their 340B compliance. Failure to comply with OPA guidelines can result in a corrective action plan or exclusion from the 340B program, depending upon the severity of the finding. CRIHB has provided a 340B resource for its full member programs. The Visante company is available to provide technical assistance, assist with policies and procedures, and perform the annual external audit.
The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) will be holding its 36th Annual Tribal Health Conference in California this year. CRIHB will host a culture night, featuring many of California’s Tribes. The NIHB Annual Tribal Health Conference is the nation’s most comprehensive Tribal health event, and we are pleased that you are part of it. It is important to gather to uphold sovereignty, strengthen trust, and to promote and protect the promise of health for our People. Sovereignty is at the heart of our identity and honors the government-to-government relationship between Tribal Nations and the United States.
The Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians will host the 36th Annual NIHB Tribal Health Conference. The event is scheduled September 16 – 20, 2019. Representatives from Tribes across the country will gather for this unique opportunity to highlight the great state of California’s Tribes and their cultures.
The conference will also include special features like culture night, NIHB Awards Ceremony, CMS day, and Just Move It Walk. It attracts an average of 900 attendees, encompassing a broad representation from Tribal health services and the public health community. Attendees include Tribal leaders, health care providers, clinic administrators, policy leaders, local decision makers, community health promotion and disease prevention professionals, public health personnel, consumers, and advocates.
Tribal Health Advisor - January 2019 5
The California Endowment is supporting statewide outreach and education efforts for the 2020 US Census. People Power is based on the idea that when democracy thrives, health thrives. In order for democracy to thrive, communities need to be active and engaged with the decision-making process, especially when they have been historically marginalized and excluded. The failure to fully enumerate the American Indian and Alaska Native population results in reductions in federal and state services and resources. CRIHB will engage in outreach and community efforts in 2019 to promote the importance of an accurate census count and encourage civic participation.

CRIHB Working with Tribes to Address the Opioid Epidemic
California Rural Indian Health Board, Inc. 6
California Tribal Opioid SummitThis past December, over 100 attendees from across the state convened at the Chukchanski Gold Resort and Casino for the inaugural California Tribal Opioid Summit. The goal of the summit was to provide education, share promising practices, and foster partnerships between State, Tribal, behavioral health, and medical partners to address the misuse and abuse of opioids that affect Tribal communities. Both keynote speakers, Dr. Jorge Mera and Dr. Corey Waller, were dynamic and engaging and spoke to the importance of medication assisted treatment.
Tribal Opioid Strategic PlanWith guidance from the Opioid Tribal Advisory Committee, CRIHB is developing an actionable strategic plan to address the opioid overdose epidemic in California Tribal communities. CRIHB will collaborate with Tribal leaders and community members to assess the impact of the opioid epidemic among youth, adult, and elder Tribal community members through regional elder convening’s and youth focus groups.
Tribal Local Opioid CoalitionsCRIHB recently funded the following seven Tribal Local Opioid Coalitions to reduce opioid use and misuse in their Tribal communities: Big Valley Rancheria, Karuk Tribe, Mathiesen Memorial Health Clinic, Indian Health Council, Sonoma County Indian Health Project, Toiyabe Indian Health Project, United Indian Health Services, and Yurok Tribe. They will be completing a community readiness model, developing a Tribal Action Plan, and developing/strengthening partnerships across sectors. CRIHB plans to fund an additional eight coalitions, for a total of 15 Tribal Local Opioid Coalitions.
Youth Leadership Summit
In July of 2019 CRIHB will host a Youth Leadership Summit along with the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board. Topics for the conference will include: Traditional Leadership, Opioids (its effect on the youth in our community) and Domestic Violence. CRIHB’s newly formed youth council will take part in the planning by providing input on youth focused events and provide content showcased on the CRIHB website/social media. CRIHB currently has several grants that focus on youth prevention and education (Teen pregnancy prevention, suicide prevention, HIV prevention and Opioid response).
Tribal Medi-Cal Administrative Activities Updates
Tribal Health Advisor - January 20197
The Department of Health Care Service (DHCS) sent an ‘All Plan Letter’ dated July 17, 2017 to Managed Care Organizations (MCO) advising changes to Non-Medical Transportation (NMT) services. Within this letter, MCOs were advised that NMT services are to be covered under the MCO’s benefits, effective July 1, 2017.
Since being notified of the changes to the NMT program, CRIHB has been diligently working on a resolution with DHCS, MCOs in our servicing counties, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services with the goal of main-taining the Tribal Medi-cal Administrative Activities Updates (TMAA) program for Tribal Health Programs (THP). Ultimately, maintaining the integrity and structure of the TMAA program is the current focus.
CRIHB has identified the MCOs that service the THP areas as: Anthem Blue Cross, California Health and Wellness, HealthNet, Inland Empire Health Plan, and Partnership Health Plan of California. Each of these MCOs contract with transportation brokers to provide NMT services to their areas. Anthem Blue Cross California Health and Wellness, and HealthNet contract with LogistiCare as their NMT broker. Partnership Health Plan of California contracts with Medical Transportation Management (MTM) as their NMT broker.
CRIHB has identified the NMT through MCO participation requirements for THPs and Tribes. Those who wish to continue to participate in NMT will have to contract with the MCO Broker (Logisticare or MTM) as a transportation provider and directly submit mileage reimbursement logs for any transportation of individuals enrolled in managed care plans. However, if a patient is a Medi-Cal Fee for Service beneficiary, the THP can continue to submit claims through the TMAA program.
CRIHB continues to meet with the MCOs and their transportation brokers to obtain and provide the best, ongoing, information for NMT services to our Tribal communities. At this time, CRIHB continues to process claims for all Me-di-Cal Administrative Activities specific codes to DHCS as well as transportation for patients enrolled into Medi-Cal FFS. Regardless of the program change, THPs should continue to provide transportation services to patients in need.Please contact Alana Perez-White at [email protected] with any questions you may have.

CRIHB Head Start and Child Development Fund Programs Currently Recruiting Families
Head Start is a federally funded pre-school program for children ages three and four, to prepare for kindergarten entry. The Tribal Child Development Department (TCD) is currently recruiting families for three of the department’s programs. TCD with the support of Lytton Band of Pomo Indians, Manchester-Point Arena Band of Pomo Indians, and Elk Valley Rancheria provides Head Start services at its Santa Rosa, Point Arena, and Crescent City locations. Besides working on early literacy, math, and science, CRIHB incorporates Tribal language and culture into the curriculum. Children learn about being stewards of the environment by gardening, planting redwoods, and raising steelhead to release into the local rivers and streams. TCD is currently recruiting children for the 2019-2020 school year. Applications can be picked up at the Lytton Education Center in Santa Rosa (1592 Fulton Road), P’Da Head Start Center in Point Arena (10 Mamie Laiwa Dr.), Elk Valley Head Start Center in Crescent City (2298 Norris Ave, Suite C), or by calling Chris Cooper or Val Camargo at 916-929-9761.
